How do I love thee Scotch ATG 700? Let me count the ways!

There are a few pieces of equipment in my paper crafting arsenal that I truly love, and the Scotch ATG (Adhesive Tape Gun) is one of them. Over the years I've created thousands of custom invitations, and believe me...in the beginning I did many things the hard way (and the not-so-economical way as well). I've tried many adhesives and adhering methods since I started the business and the tape gun is nothing short of a God-send for certain jobs. I get a lot of invitations out of one roll of tape, the adhesive is powerful sticky, and it's a time saver. I can work pretty fast with this sucker. Unlike other methods I've tried, there is very little adhesive residue left on or near the edges of paper, so that's another plus. Currently I'm working on a really big job and this tool has been a huge help (as has my well-loved studio desk). I'm not finished yet, so it's back to the grind but trust me I'll be whistling while I work with my ATG.

I can't believe I'm commenting on this post above all your others but I have to give a shout out to the Scotch ATG! I use it all the time at work and it rocks! I will admit to using a few inappropriate words when I have to change the roll of adhesive, but that's probably just due my impatience and unwillingless to admit that I need to look at the directions first :)

Lisa you crack me up! And you are not alone. I make Pete change the adhesive roll on mine. :)

I have two- best thing EVER! My sis, who does most of my assembly work, took forever to figure out how to change the roll, LOL. Poor thing.
